About This Piece
Artist Bimmer Torres worked with five youth from the Juvenile Diversion Program to design and create this mural in only three days. The figure represents a wise Mayan warrior in front of a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya civilization.
The Juvenile Diversion Program targets youth as a prevention program for illegal graffiti tagging. One participant said of the project, "this program shows you how graffiti can be done legally and how it can inspire others."
